When the surroundings returned to calm, Wei Ning'er sighed softly. [ ]

"My lord, don't you go and see the Queen?" Bingruo knelt beside Wei Ning'er and asked with some confusion.

"No need, the Queen is not in the way!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"Then how long will you continue to kneel like this, little master?" Bingruo asked with some distress.

"Two hours, this is the Queen Mother's order!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

Although Bingruo didn't know why she did this, since the master said so, she naturally had to accompany him as a slave.

The news that the queen was pregnant spread throughout the palace in an instant, and even the pure noble concubine who never moved around in the name of raising a fetus heard about it.

This time the Queen fainted, which really worried the Emperor. Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that the baby in the Queen's belly was already three months old and had no damage to the fetus, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you are pregnant, queen, why didn't you tell the Ai family? The Ai family almost made a big mistake!" The queen mother was relieved when the doctor said that the queen was fine. She could think that the queen had hidden it from her, and she felt unhappy.

.

"Empress Dowager!" The emperor looked at the Queen Mother and wanted to say something, but he held back. In any case, the Emperor would not be disrespectful to the Queen Mother.

"What? The Ai family can't even ask?" The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned ugly.

The emperor took a deep breath and said: "The queen is weak now. If the queen has anything to say, please leave it to another day!"

"Well, Emperor, please accompany the Queen. The Ai family has returned to the palace!" Although the Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied with the Queen hiding it from her, she was also very happy that the Queen was pregnant and did not care about it, so she turned and left.

Concubine Xian composed herself and followed.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't tell you that she was pregnant, and she happily accepted the punishment. This is to make the Emperor blame you!" Concubine Xian whispered in the Queen Mother's ear.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "The Ai family knows the Queen's character well. She will not use her children to cause harm, let alone her children." After saying this, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian and said: "Minruo, the Ai family

Those who can help you have already been helped. Today almost caused a catastrophe. The Ai family is still in a state of uneasiness. From now on, the Ai family does not want to interfere with the affairs of the harem. You can think about it yourself.

!”

When Concubine Xian heard this, her heart sank, but she had no choice but to nod lightly.

How could the Queen Mother not know the Queen's intention? The Queen was telling her not to favor Concubine Xian too much, otherwise she would not sit idly by as usual.

Looking back on these years, the Queen Mother also knew that she favored Concubine Xian much more than the concubines in the palace. This was not only because Concubine Xian was her personally selected daughter-in-law, but also because she was an old friend, so she naturally had many choices.

Taking care of.

Returning to Songhe Zhai, the Queen Mother found that Wei Ning'er was still kneeling, and couldn't help but take another look at her.

"My concubine, get up!" the Queen Mother said calmly.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Ning'er kowtowed and then stood up.

"Speaking of which, although you were rude today, it was precisely because of your rudeness that the Ai family did not cause a big disaster. The Ai family sees that your child is very smart. Come and help the Ai family copy Buddhist scriptures in the future!

"The Queen Mother smiled.

"Copy Buddhist scriptures!" Wei Ning'er looked at her in slight surprise. What does copying Buddhist scriptures have to do with being smart? What's more, isn't helping the Queen Mother copy and veto the scriptures something that Concubine Xian has always done?

"Well, when copying Buddhist scriptures, you must be pure of heart, abstain from desires, bathe and fast. From now on, you cannot serve the emperor!" the Queen Mother said with a hint.

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er didn't dare to say no.

"Don't worry, Aijia won't let you copy Buddhist scriptures after you leave the palace. Otherwise, even if you are willing to do so, the emperor won't be willing to do it!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.

Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, she didn't know the Queen Mother's intention.

Now that Concubine Chun is pregnant and the Empress is pregnant, this also means that Concubine Chun and Empress will not be able to sleep with each other for a long time. If she is controlled again, what will be left is

Concubine Xian, Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi. After all, the Queen Mother is still helping Concubine Xian. Wei Ning'er doesn't understand why the Queen Mother likes Concubine Xian so much.

"Do you think that the Ai family does not allow you to serve the emperor because of Concubine Xian?" The Queen Mother seemed to have seen through Wei Ning'er's thoughts, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on her face.

"Ah... no!" Wei Ning'er was shocked and immediately shook her head.

"Huh... there are not many people who can deceive the Ai family." Once the Queen Mother became serious, nothing in the palace could be hidden from her eyes. It was just that her decades of leisure made her not care about these things.

, there have always been fights between the concubines in the harem, but she has never thought about ending these fights, and even if she wanted to, it would be impossible.

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly and said no more.

"The Aijia asked you, where did the injury on the emperor's right face come from?" The queen mother asked after Wei Ning'er followed the queen mother into the main hall.

Wei Ning'er was startled again and almost bumped into the Queen Mother. Fortunately, Bingruo beside her held her back.

"Seeing how reckless you are, you must have caused the emperor's injury!" The Queen Mother suddenly darkened her face.

Wei Ning'er didn't answer or didn't answer. She stood there in fear.

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother actually laughed: "Okay, since the emperor didn't say anything, the Ai family will pretend that he didn't see it, but... you have to be careful in the future, otherwise the Ai family will not be as lenient as this time.

you!"

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er responded with a slight blessing.

At this moment, she was filled with questions, why did the Queen Mother... do this? What was her intention? Wei Ning'er was puzzled, but she was helpless.

In the evening, Cheng Bi came to her palace and said that the Queen had invited her to visit her. Wei Ning'er did not dare to neglect and went immediately.

Entering the bedroom, Wei Ning'er was so shocked when she saw the queen lying on the bed that she forgot to salute and quickly walked to the bed.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'm not in the way!" The queen held her hand and smiled, then winked at Chu Xia, who immediately retreated with the servants in the room.

"Ning'er, thank you for this. If I kneel for a moment longer, I might really hurt the child in my belly!" There was a look of fear on the Queen's eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed too risky!" Wei Ning'er said solemnly.

The queen shook her head and said: "At least everything was as expected by me. If you had not helped me up at that time, even if I fell short, I would not gamble with my child. But...fortunately, the emperor came quickly.

!”

"Your Majesty, by doing this, aren't you making the Queen Mother dissatisfied with you?" Wei Ning'er said with some worry. It seems that the Queen's actions are not worth the gain.

"The Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with me is not something that happens in a day or two. I am not afraid of this. However, I want to tell the Queen Mother that even she should not interfere too much in the affairs of the harem. To help

Concubine Xian, I also want to tell you

Queen Mother, I have always been in the heart of the Emperor. Even if she is the Emperor's wife, she should not try to destroy the affection between me and the Emperor again and again. After this, she may see it more clearly.

It’s clear!” the queen smiled.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she was slightly moved. Could it be that... over the years, the Queen Mother and the Empress... were actually dissatisfied with each other?

The Queen held Wei Ning'er's hand and smiled: "The Queen Mother doesn't necessarily like Concubine Xian that much. She just wanted to find someone to suppress me. However, she was greatly disappointed by Concubine Xian. But even so, she had no other choice.

The choice was made.”

"Your Majesty, you and the Queen Mother?" Wei Ning'er was filled with doubts.

The queen sighed and said: "The rift in the early years has not been resolved so far. This matter has to be talked about in the fifth year of Yongzheng. In that year, I was ordered to enter the palace for a draft, which happened to be the emperor's.

When the fourth prince chose Fujin, the Queen Mother was just an ordinary concubine - Concubine Xi. She was not favored by the late emperor, but she

The fourth prince, the son of the late emperor, was the most favored prince of the late emperor. The Queen Mother chose me at a glance among the many beautiful girls. But even if she had the candidate she liked, she still had to ask the queen about her wishes and respect the empress Xian. Wula

Nala is the late emperor's first wife and direct descendant. She comes from a well-known family and is highly respected by the late emperor. She has always made the final decision in the affairs of the palace."

"The Ulanala clan, Concubine Xian is also from the Ulanala clan. Is she a relative of Empress Xian?" Wei Ning'er asked in surprise.

The queen shook her head slightly: "It's just the same surname and they come from the same clan, but they don't have much to do with each other!"

The Queen paused and then said: "Queen Xiao Jingxian also likes me, but... when she heard that the Queen Mother also fell in love with me, she sneered and said, Concubine Xi was not born tall, but she wanted to choose a son for her son.

Coming from a famous family, Fu Jin found it really difficult for Concubine Xi. Knowing her own shortcomings, she thought that her son would not suffer a loss, but she worked very hard, so I decided to ask the emperor to marry the Fucha family to Hongli.

"

"Follow Empress Xian..." When Wei Ning'er heard this, she felt panicked in her heart.

The queen sighed: "The eldest brother Honghui, who was born to Empress Xiaojingxian, died long ago. This has always been the biggest pain in her heart, so she didn't like the children born to other concubines very much. Later, she raised Concubine Qi's son.

The third elder brother Hongshi was born, but it happened that the third elder brother was seriously ill at that time, and it seemed that he was about to die. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable, so she took out her anger on the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother has a grudge against you because of Empress Xiao Jing Xian's angry words?" Wei Ning'er was very puzzled. It stands to reason that the Queen Mother was personally selected by the Queen Mother for the Emperor, even though Empress Xiao Jing Xian used this to ridicule the Queen Mother.

, she shouldn’t bear grudges against the queen.

The Queen shook her head and said: "At first, the Queen Mother was just a little dissatisfied, but she never made things difficult for me. But... later on, people in the palace often used this matter to ridicule the Queen Mother because she was not born high. How could the Queen Mother be happy?
